After viewing the timeline on the lightbulb and the electric companies who popularized and profited from it below, comment on what you learned from it. You are to make your own timeline on some aspect of the lightbox (hot glue gun, picture frames, clothespins, glass, etc) and then post it in the comment section of this page. It would also be acceptable to do some research on one of the electric companies mentioned in the timeline below or on Nikola Tesla's work with electricity. You are expected to comment on the timelines of your classmates.
In creating your timeline, make sure that it is historically accurate and document your sources. This is an opportunity to learn more about the history behind the components of the lightbox. I have used TimeGlider (http://timeglider.com/) to create this timeline on the lightbulb. If you find a better resource or would prefer to use Timetoast, classroomtools.net, or dipicity.com, feel free. Just be aware that your end product must be visible, accurate and visually appealing.
